or the seasoned cruiser who thrives on the hectic activity of giant ships, be aware that seaDream offers something very different. a holiday on one of its two yachts offers a haven of relaxation and you can, if you wish, simply while away the days lazing in the pool or Jacuzzi or taking it easy on the Balinese beds on deck. Friendly crew members will bring you cocktails or canapés and surreptitiously clean your sunglasses and plump your cushions. You can fall into the slow pace of life on board surprisingly easily, and once you taste the outstanding food and the sommelier learns what you like to drink, it can be very hard to leave. the yachting lifestyle on board SeaDream I and II allows guests to feel instantly at home and the relaxing and lighthearted atmosphere seduces in
minutes. With just 56 couples on board and 95 staff looking after 112 guests, service is second to none. there’s open seating for all meals, allowing you to choose when, and with whom you enjoy dinner, and for an even more informal affair dine al fresco, enjoying five star cuisine with views of the ocean. itineraries are reflective of the vessels’ intimate size, with ships visiting ports that are inaccessible for larger liners. When you’re not exploring on land, the ships’ retractable marinas are home to a collection of water sports toys. Play with glass-bottomed kayaks, go water skiing and snorkelling, ride on a banana boat, try out the laser sailboat or chill on the floating island. Bliss. all staterooms have views of the ocean and feature flat screen televisions, iPod docking stations, luxurious multiple head showers and Bulgari bath products. cru ise -i n t er nat iona l .com
